Hi,



In the FAQ 
PDF<https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/149513/_Website_Blog/Qt%20offering%20change%20FAQ-2020-01-27.pdf>
 we have the following:



What should users do that need to install Qt in a CI / scripted setup?



The non-LTS part of the releases is available in the Qt repositories for 
everyone just like currently. For

commercial license holders, the access is granted for the LTS part using their 
Qt Account.



I hope that one can still download and unpack the minimal set of 7z packages 
directly. I used this

functionality to describe how one can use GitHub actions to build Qt Creator 
plugins against official

Qt binaries at: 
https://www.qt.io/blog/building-qt-creator-plugins-with-github-actions



The online installer requires GUI access, even from command line, and the 
GitHub Actions runners do not offer it.



Cheers,

Cristian.
